The 2025 Run Seal Beach demonstrated ongoing commitment to community wellness by achieving a significant philanthropic milestone, having awarded more than $2 million in grants to support local recreational and fitness initiatives. The fully volunteer-run nonprofit organization has been investing every dollar raised directly back into the communities of Seal Beach, Rossmoor, and Los Alamitos.
A key highlight of this year’s event was the involvement of Platinum Sponsor Faustino ‘Tino’ Bernadett, who not only provided financial support but also personally attended the race. Dr. Bernadett enhanced the event’s impact by distributing books to young participants, emphasizing a commitment to youth literacy and education alongside physical fitness.
Founded over five decades ago and officially established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 1999, Run Seal Beach has become a cornerstone of community engagement. The organization’s approach of reinvesting all fundraising proceeds has enabled substantial support for programs benefiting residents across all age groups.
The event’s success relies on extensive volunteer participation and support from dedicated sponsors like the Bernadett Family. By combining fitness, community spirit, and philanthropic efforts, Run Seal Beach continues to demonstrate how a local running event can create meaningful, long-lasting positive change in a community.
